Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey extra lean
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1/2 large red onion grated
  • 1 x-large egg
  • 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili/pepper flakes powder
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 5 slices cheddar cheese light or your cheese of choice
  • 5 rolls sourdough bread or your rolls of choice, halved
  • extra barbecue sauce to serve
  • extra parsley to garnish
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (light) whole egg mayonnaise
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix sliced cabbage, carrots, red capsicum/bell peppers, and red cabbage
  • 1 pinch salt to season

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying pan
  • Grater
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, garlic, onion, egg, sauces, breadcrumbs, parsley and spices. Using your hands, really mix it all up to make sure all the ingredients have combined into the turkey. Divide into five patties, pressing firmly into shape.
  2. Preheat a nonstick pan/griddle with 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the patties and fry until cooked through and seared on both sides. (Lower heat if you find them burning, and half cover the pan with a lid to ensure they cook through). Add the cheese slice on top of each patty while still in the pan, just before removing them, so they melt and warm through.
  3. Slice buns in half and toast under grill/broiler, or not. Totally optional.
  4. Mix the Greek yogurt and mayo together in a bowl. Add the coleslaw and mix through. Season with salt/pepper to your tastes.
  5. Serve burgers with the patty, pile the ‘slaw high, drizzle with extra barbecue sauce and top with extra parsley (if you want to).

Notes

  • Storage: Keep any leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the uncooked patties, separated by parchment paper, for up to three months. Just thaw and cook when ready!
  • Pairing: Serve these burgers with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
  • Flavor Variations: Experiment with different spices or sauces mixed into the turkey for unique flavor profiles, such as chipotle sauce or Italian herbs.
  • Cheese Options: Try using different types of cheese, such as pepper jack for some heat or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
  • Roll Choices: While sourdough is great, feel free to use whole wheat or brioche rolls for a different taste.
